We have lived in out house for nearly 10 years. (Oh my does time fly!) While I love our house, certain areas have been sorely neglected. Low on the priority list, I have often looked at them over the last decade and thought, “One of these days, I am going to do something with this room.” For our guest bathroom, “one of these days” has finally come!
Before I show you all of the fun details, I want to show you why it needed a refresh. Our sad little guest bathroom was the home of towels my husband owned since before we were married and a paper “curtain.” Yes, a tragic paper curtain.
When we first moved in, we tried spray-on glass frost. Because the window has French window panes, it was a total pain. But it worked. Until my niece and nephew scratched it off with their fingernails when they stayed with us once. Oiy! To cover up the holes, my husband picked up a paper curtain. It was too short, but it would work temporarily. That was about seven years ago.
I was always going to make something for the door because the window is an odd shape. It is long (84 inches) and narrow (16 inches). Then in search of the perfect bathroom accessories from BHG, I stumbled across a sheer curtain from BHG that is 84 inches and works perfect! YEAY!

Great job! Love the accessories. We also have the same “pool door” and I must admit, I was stumped when we moved in 6 years ago! Coming from the north, I had never seen anything like it.
You did a phenomenal refresh on this…(I just might copy the whole design!)

It’s crazy, right?! I am from Florida and have never seen a pool door with floor to ceiling glass OPPOSITE the toilet. But finally, we have the perfect solution! 🙂 (Feel free to copy — everything is available from the BHG line at Walmart!)

Very nice touches to the bathroom. I like the idea of a door in the bathroom especially if you have a pool. The kids can come in a go to the bathtub without stomping through the house soaking wet. I had the same issue with my back door. I wanted to add a curtain but had a hard time finding something that would work. I ended up buying a sheer black curtain set. I bought the rods that you need to make hang on the the back door. I then hemmed the bottom of the curtains to add at the bottom. It worked great and even though it is sheer it made a huge difference.
